Narrative:

What happens in the Beginning?

The gang of Spencer, Bethany,Martha and fridge are all separated and go to different colleges and they all stay in touch via phone but Spencer feels like he didn't belong when he sees how happy his friends are and unhappy he is he tells like they are doing better without him so one night he's thinking and he realizes he wants to feel worthy again so he fixes the broken game of Jumanji and he unexpectedly goes missing and his friend come to find him at his house after falling him 14 times, but while this is all going on Spencer's Grandpa Eddie has an unexpected Visit from an old friend and working partner who went separate ways in life after selling an coffee shop they use to co -own, Eddie does not like Milo anymore because he feels that he wasn't ready to let go of their old coffee shop which is now transformed into a place called Noras, While Milo invited himself in for a cup of tea or coffee, Martha, Fridge and Bethany come barging through the door Asking for Spencer but Eddie hadn't seen him last night and thought he went out to see those guys, Suddenly they all year the noise of the jumanji  game from the previous two films and Martha, Bethany and fridge all rush down stairs into the Basement while Milo and Eddie sit down on the dinner table for a cup of coffee(To eddies disgust) The guys in the basement realize that Spencer had brought back the game and it looked like he was trying to fix it, they figure out that he had gone into the game Martha , Bethany both decided that they were going to go in and bring Spencer back out again, Fridge refuses but once Martha touched the game controller a light sucks 2 People from upstairs and two people from downstairs who are Martha and Fridge, Bethany is left clueless as to why she was left behind so she rushed out of the house to an old friend of theirs.

What happens in the Middle?

They all go back with different characters (still without Bethany) and Eddie and Milo (the two grandpas) have been sucked in the game with them Martha who is now Run roundhouse stays the same character but fridges character Mouse has been switched around with What would be Bethany character Shelley oberon and that leaves the two grandpas with the other two characters (the strongest one Dr Gravestone played now as Spencer's Grandpa Eddie and Milo now playing mouse) Martha and Fridge explain how the game works, they explain about the lives and the skills and then they get to a cut scene saying what they have to do they have to return a precious gemstone to a tribe leader again that was Taken by an evil man Jurgen ad he is holding it hostage it's the new gangs chance to save jumanji, they get to the first location on a reset where they bump into a few things and they eventually reach a town , they get told a clue which was "Follow the Flame"Which ends up being a woman in red so they follow her into a pub and see jurgen with his two Hiyanas suddenly it goes black and the key for the jewl has been taken but to what Eddie the grandpa thinks was a good think he stops the theif from ok

 leaving, the theif is a small character a girl with black hair and is very crafty(Ming) she gets slaughtered and they realize it's Spencer as Ming so they go to find her after she has a higher life and he explains what they need to do and why there grandpas is here and why Bethany isn't, during all this Bethany goes to see a man called Alex who knows all about jumanji because he was stuck in the game for 20 years and the guys helped him get out in the last film,They both agree they need to do something to help them.Then a few more incidents happen they loose lives and collect an old jumanji fruit from a hidden tree.

What happens in the end?

After more things happen they are accompanied by Bethany and Alex, Alex come back as the same character but Bethany comes back as a horse, they find a lake and soon realize it you jump in you can change your character's, So Martha stays as Ruby then Spencer changes to his original character Dr Bravestone Fridge as Mouse and Bethany As Shelley oberon which leaves Grandpa eddie as ming and Milo as the horse.One. Night ming As Eddie and Milo as the horse(cylops) gets stolen by Jurgen they have to go and save them from. His fortress on the mountain and they split up Alex goes to get milo and discovers he can fly and gets him out of the cage Martha and Spencer to go get Eddie which they do while Fridge and Bethany to go Jurgen pretending to be the Brother Quibabic ( Two of the most brave and strong men with a sister Jurgen wants to marry) they end up getting busted but before it's over because they are all on their last lives Martha Dance battles everyone because she is a man killer when their is music around, just as Jurgen goes to kill Spencer(Dr Bravestone) A mysterious liquid starts to leak from Spencer's pocket it's the Jumanji berry Jurgen freaks  out and leaves the room Spencer follows him and catches up to him and finds out his weakness is the berry he smashed it again him and jurgen is dying ,they are in the air because this all happend on a battleship suddenly when Spencer is left hanging on for his life watching jurgen  fall to his death officialy, Milo comes out unexpectedly with wings!! And saves him they all get back together again and Milo decides to stay because he reveals he was dying in the real world, they all go back and they are all friends and then when we think the movie is over someone (An electricity man) touches the game and while they are all say in Noras and Animals from the game comes pouring out onto the streets.

The most important events are Going in understanding the mission finding Spencer Getting the jumanji berry Bethany going them , and then them defeating jumanji and they leave.

If the events changed order in my opinion it would make as much sense it also wouldn't be as humorous if they got the berry before they found Spencer you could see that there was something missing because in it while one half of them are getting berry Spencer and some of the others steal a camel and Spencer is the one who makes it funny because he's so impatient that scene defiantly makes that characters comedy pop.

The story is about a. Videogame that you pick characters and once you have started playing it you can't stop you have three lives to try and complete the task that's set for you and once you find it you must call out it's name jumaji.

How long is the film-  2Hours 3 minutes

How does this story remind you of other stories?
Well of course this reminds me of the original just Jumanji the movie where a boy goes missing into a board game and then all the animals start coming from the jungle into the real world.

How would you like the story to continue?
Well I recon they will make another one because at the end of this movie animals start to come into the real world so really it's left on a cliffhanger so I think they will have to get all of the characters back into the game.

The movie mind of has a linear/Non linear Narrative, because the world is normal at the start it is  caused in this particular movie the disruption came from one  of  the main characters then at the end the realize something is wrong with their world when a bunch of ostriches come running down the road at the end of the film, Basically all of the main characters to to fix what Spencer started,and it didn't really end in a perfect world because of all the animals.

Non-linear narrative films:
IT Chapter 2
Jigsaw
Into the wild
Batman begins
Titanic
The shining

Equilibrium - In this movie nothing in the film world is normal they all seem lost and in the past they got thrown into a video game which was a experience.

Distribution -Spencer goes back into the game after feeling a bit depressed and what's to feel mighty again so yeah it was caused by the main character.

Recognition of Distribution -the other main characters realize Spencer has gone and then they have to fix the distribution and go in after him.e


Attempt to solve -They all go on a journey to fix the distribution and it takes a few attempts but they do get there in the end with a bit of help.


New equilibrium -
The life didn't go back to normal it ends up with another cliffhanger because loads of animals start running down the road.
